We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of dear Madhu, a beautiful and vibrant friend. We met Madhu and Salil ~ 30 years ago, when the Greater Boston Indian community was significantly smaller. They were a warm-hearted and delightful couple. Madhu was an intelligent complement to her brilliant husband. She kept home and hearth going while he was away, lecturing or inserting pacemakers on charitable missions. Madhu had a heart as big as her husband's, and always supported his altruistic ventures. Her three children, Anjali, Gaurav and Monica are testimony to her outstanding care. She will be sorely missed by her family and the entire community. RIP, dear Madhu
Janine & Victor.
